A spokesperson for the fast growing poker room said "It’s every poker players dream to do well in a big money tournament. Most of us watch these games and think we could easily finish in the money. Well we are going to give RedKings players the opportunity to find out if they can really go the distance. Our “Play Big” campaign will hopefully lead to discovering some hot new big tournament talent in 2008”.
The winter tournament campaign coincides with the launch of a brand new bonus code PLAYBIG which is a massive 500% up to $1000 at the redemption rate of 8jmx bonus in RedKings player points.
